Spectacular 1920s Mansion Overlooking the Long Island Sound

This property is on the market for $11,500,000, listed with Maggie Keats and Alexis Demirjian of Douglas Elliman.

The Gold Coast estate spans 9 acres of waterfront in Glen Cove, New York, boasting waterfront views from each of the principal rooms and direct access to a private sandy beach on the property.

The 16,000 square foot French Norman-style residence was built for Luckenbach Steamship Line heir, Louis Luckenbach by master architect and designer William Bottomley in 1927.

The 7 bedroom property comes with a wealth of beautiful ceiling-to-floor detail, with fabric-covered walls and a trompe l’oeil ceiling.

Cobble Court has been preserved over the ages and features 21st century upgrades throughout, including an updated kitchen with La Cornue range, underfloor heating for the imported limestone floors, and a 7-car heated garage with car wash.

The 1920s mansion is surrounded by manicured lawns and woodland paths, a smokehouse, greenhouses, and an additional 2 guest cottages on the property.

The grounds are complete with a Tudor-style playhouse, fountains, and a pond with a footbridge over it that looks straight out of a Monet painting.
